Chapter 111: Stalemate

Gu Yong did not complete what Sun Ce instructed and returned in vain.

At least on the surface, he did not succeed in convincing Guo Jia to send troops from Hangu Pass to join Yuan Cao's battle.

Guo Jia put on a posture that he was determined to fight Jingzhou.

No matter how Gu Yong said that Yuan Shaofa and Cao Ying were justified and should be responded to by the people of the world, Guo Jia was always unmoved.

At the head of Chengdu City, seeing Gu Yong's carriage go away, although Guo Jia did not let him go back with good news to return to Sun Ce, at least he was thoughtful and personally sent him to the city gate.

The breeze was gentle, the sky was sunny and warm, and Guo Jia, who was standing proudly at the head of the city, suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart.

Raising his hand as if to pull the van back in front of him, Guo Jia closed his eyes and sighed softly, and his arm slowly drooped.

"Jiangdong is about to undergo great changes, Sun Bofu of the courage of the overlord, can you escape the fate of history?"

In this year in history, the most sensational thing in the Central Plains was undoubtedly Yuan Shao's defeat in Guandu, and after this far-reaching event, it was the fall of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and the young male lord Sun Zhongmou officially appeared on the world stage.

Guo Jia actually appreciates Sun Ce's actions over the years from the bottom of his heart, it is not easy to open up, Sun Ce can not choose to be depressed after Sun Jian's death, but to rise bravely, which is enough to make Guo Jia look at him with admiration, once upon a time, Guo Jia has seen Sun Ce in Changsha City, in addition to being brave and ruthless, he is just a useless young man, but Sun Ce, who has grown up rapidly over the years, is definitely an idol figure that young people yearn for, the people of Jiangdong support Sun Ce and affectionately call him Sun Lang, in addition to Sun Ce's policy of benefiting the people, It's more about his youth, self-reliance, and charisma.

Guo Jia hesitated when he raised his arm before, and he was thinking about whether to let Gu Yong bring a message to Sun Ce, so that Sun Ce could escape the difficulty.

In the end, Guo Jia chose to give up and go with the flow, he was afraid of self-defeating, if his warning was conveyed to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce finally failed to escape the end of fate, then would the Sun family plant this hatred on Guo Jia's head?

Huang Quan, who followed Guo Jia back to the city, asked with some confusion: "Does the lord really want to crusade against Liu Biao?" Didn't you say last month that you were going to wave the army in the Central Plains? ”

Guo Jia turned his head and looked at Huang Quan playfully, this person is a bit brainless, but it is harmless.

"I called Liu Biao, I told Gu Yong to listen, and asked Gu Yong to tell Sun Ce."

Huang Quan was even more confused, and he asked sneeringly: "If the lord is still fighting the Central Plains, why should he refuse Jiangdong's proposal?" With the help of Jiangdong to reject Yuan Shao, wouldn't the odds be higher? ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly.

Now everyone in the world thinks that Yuan Shao will win and Cao Ying will lose.

When the people on the side of the road saw Guo Jia passing by, they automatically got out of the way and stood on both sides to salute Guo Jia.

Guo Jia has long been accustomed to such a scene, and he said as he walked: "The battle of the Central Plains, there can't be too many variables, Sun Ce wants to intervene, it is difficult for me to contain him, but at least I want to make him hesitate." ”

Huang Quan thought about it, and also felt that what Guo Jia said made sense, it is difficult for the two heroes to stand side by side, if they become a three-legged trend, the variables will be too great, Guo Jia wants to join the battle of Yuan Cao, if there is another Sun Ce, the situation will become unpredictable and complicated.

"The lord rejected Jiangdong's proposal, didn't Sun Ce respond to Yuan Shao?"

Seeing that the gate of the mansion was close in front of him, Guo Jia stopped, turned to Huang Quan and said: "I promised Sun Ce, Sun Ce will be ready to reap the benefits, I refuse him now, and tell Gu Yong that I want to fight Jingzhou, if you are Sun Ce, what will you think when you hear this news?" Jingzhou fell, to the east, whose territory was it? ”

Huang Quan suddenly realized that Gu Yong's coming, it was also possible that the momentum of Guo Jia's water army on the border river of Jingzhou in Yizhou made Sun Ce feel a crisis.

If Guo Jia really conquered Jingzhou, not only restricted the development space of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, but even Sun Ce's own safety was threatened, and instigated Guo Jia to send troops from Hangu Pass, it may be that Sun Ce wants to reap the benefits, or it may be to divert Guo Jia's attention and let Guo Jia dispel his greed for Jingzhou.

In the era of the rise of heroes and heroes, the snow in front of the door often does not end well, even if it is a prince who is far away, a small action is a trigger and move the whole body.

It is a feint against Jingzhou, and swallowing the Central Plains is Guo Jia's true intention.

After two months of the siege of Baimajin, Cao Ying led his army to the front line in April.

In order to rescue Liu Yan, who was besieged in Baimajin, Cao Ying divided his troops to attack Yanjin County, which Yuan Shao sent troops to defend, with the purpose of luring Yuan Shao to transfer troops to the rescue.

Yuan Shao was really fooled and sent heavy troops to Yanjin to rescue.

When Yuan Shao's main force moved to Yanjin to strengthen the defense, Cao Ying suddenly waved his army to rescue Baimajin.

Yan Liang, a famous general in Hebei, couldn't hold his breath, and in the face of Cao Ying's army, he led the army to charge directly, wanting to defeat Cao Ying in one go, but was beheaded by Guan Yu, who was in Cao Ying's camp, in the first round of the confrontation.

In the midst of the ten thousand armies, Yan Liang, as the first-class general under Yuan Shao's account, died suddenly.

His death was very unexpected, and he was beheaded by Guan Yu in front of him.

Then, the main general was killed, Yuan Shao's troops led by Yan Liang in Baimajin collapsed instantly, and Cao Ying calmly arranged troops to relieve the siege of Baima and rescued Liu Yan and the remaining troops.

After Liu Yan's troops converged with Cao Ying, Cao Ying led his troops to retreat west along the south bank of the Yellow River, camped south of Yanjin to confront Yuan Shao, crossed the Yellow River with Liu Bei's Yuan Shao also had heavy troops in Yanjin, and after several confrontations with Cao Ying, Cao Ying was defeated and retreated to Guandu, Yuan Shao stopped, Yuan Shao in Yanjin and Cao Ying in Guandu, formed a confrontation and could not hold each other.

The information in Guo Jia's hand was already being sent back quickly by the scouts who were searching for news in the front, but it was still a little late.

Yan Liang was unexpectedly beheaded, and even deserved his prestige as a famous general in Hebei.

This Guo Jia can be understood.

Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, Liu Bei was Yuan Shao's guest at that time, Yan Liang took the lead, Guan Yu also rode the dust, the two met, Guan Yu waved a knife, Yan Liang may still want to say hello, but he directly ended up in a different place.

When the battle of Yuan Cao was in a stalemate stage, Guan Yu suddenly bid farewell to Cao Ying and headed towards Yuan Shao's camp, seeking to reunite with Liu Bei's brothers.

Cao Ying was betrayed again, but it was above board, he respected Guan Yu as a hero who stood up to the sky, not a villain like Liu Bei's sneak attack on Xuzhou, Guan Yu said goodbye to Cao Ying and left a letter, and then left Cao Ying's seal as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Cao Ying did not make a hindrance from it, heroes and heroes, due respect, Cao Ying will not be stingy.

People have their own ambitions, they can't be forced, Cao Ying is kind to Guan Yu, the grace of not killing, the grace of kindness, all of them are kindness, Guan Yu also repaid Cao Ying, the great merit of beheading Yan Liang is by no means just a military general can set up for Cao Ying.

Guan Yu's departure, in fact, is not tortuous, there is no romance in the five levels of six generals, just open the map and take a look, you can understand that Guan Yu's so-called pass will be apocryphal, however, this does not prevent Guo Jia from admiring this hero who has never met but sincerely admires.

Guan Yu abandoned Cao Ying and left, possibly facing Cao Ying's killer.

Guan Yu went to Yuan Shao's camp in order to find his brother to reunite, he killed Yan Liang, and Yuan Shao is very likely to use his head to pay tribute to Yan Liang's soul.

Both ends are not pleased, and both sides are in danger of death, but Guan Yu is still obliged to embark on this road.

With this love of fearless life and death, Guan Yu does not need the myth of walking thousands of miles alone, and does not need the image of a martial god who passes the test, which has already made Guo Jia respect like a god.

Ninety percent of people who can sacrifice their lives and forget their lives for the sake of love and righteousness can say it, but they will never be able to do it!

Guo Jia really wanted to meet Liu Bei, who used to be just a mat weaver and a shoe seller, and what kind of demagogic ability made people follow so desperately.

Cao Ying confronted Yuan Shao according to Shouguandu, Guo Jia's plan to go north was originally in March, but it was delayed again and again, because of the transportation of grain and grass, Yizhou had a few rains in the spring of this year, and the roads were muddy, even if Gan Ning had led the army to repair and expand the Jiange Road, but there were still narrow places that were not easy to pass, and the grain could not be transported in the rain, and it was necessary to wait for the light to shine.

By the beginning of June, Guo Jia had finally completed all the preparations for the eastward march of the army, and before leaving, he had to say goodbye to his family in the mansion.

Every time he leads the army to fight, perhaps, there may be no return, Guo Jia cherishes the last moment of reunion with his family, and he is also very solemn about the farewell.

In the backyard of Fuzhong, Guo Jia sat with his family in the gazebo, his two sons sat on his left and right, and his daughter was held in his arms.

"Father, why don't you let the child go?"

Guo Jin didn't understand Guo Jia's rejection of his proposal to join the army, he already knew that Guo Jia had taken Guo Ye to the battlefield when he attacked Guanzhong.

This time, Guo Jia didn't take his son, Guo Jin, or Guo Ye.

"The battlefield is too dangerous, you stay at home and be filial to your elders, and occasionally coax your sister, and I will definitely reward you when I come back."

Guo Jia does not need to explain that the situation in the customs is completely different from the situation in the Central Plains today, even if Guo Jia has made all the preparations, it is difficult to control the overall situation.

Zhen Jiang, Cai Yan, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, they forced a smile, saying that they were not worried about Guo Jia going to the battlefield, it was impossible.

Yuan Shao's 700,000 army, Cao Ying's 100,000 army, and Guo Jia's only 100,000 soldiers and horses.

"Don't look like I'm dead, are you crying or laughing?"

In the face of Guo Jia's ridicule, the five girls helplessly raised their smiling faces and said goodbye to Guo Jia one by one, except for the triumphant greetings, it was nothing more than God's blessing and safe and sound...... When Guo Jia once again embarked on the journey to the north, he left Chengdu on the front foot, and a group of people from the south of Chengdu entered the city and knocked on the door of Qin Mi's house for the first time.
